This game is due out September first and is making me drool. www.aiononline.com/us/It looks so far like they are pulling all the successful things from other MMO's and forging a beast of a MMO. The graphics look amazing, but i am hearing that they dont kill computers. I will have to see it to believe it (I can play the beta on the 19th hopefully) Character customization is incredible. There are two races (Humans with different features basically) but with the creator you can basically alter them to make giant ogres, or tiny Taru/Gnomes. It really is amazing. Flight is an integral part of the game. But its not just fly all around forever. They are incorporating it in an unusual way. Flying is limited (Gain more flight time with items and as you level) and you can use it in airial combat, or to harvest nodes that are floating in the sky. It is also used for travel, and has a quick cooldown or something. I cant really explain it without trying it I suppose. It was first designed for the Korean audience, but for us in the west they decided to alter the game. Its not clock to move, you actually move with the WASD keys. They have about 1500 quests. They translated it and actually changed a lot of the text to make it more western friendly. (This is a good thing that no one ever does) I have high hopes for this game. After I get to play the preview weekend on the 19th I hope to have a better review.

F2P, or do you have to pay? If it's F2P I'll give it a try when it comes out.

Now that I've had time to sit down and read... I won't be getting it, it's probably going to be like FFXI and WoW, buy the game and pay a subscription fee. Looks gorgeous, but can't afford it.

OK! I have played a Priest and a Mage up to level 10. THe Priest turned into a Cleric, and the Mage turned into a Spirit Master. First Impressions. The character creation process is impressive. You can make anything from a giant hulking beast to a teeny tiny gnome. There are only 2 races and the options for looks are insane. I stuck with short, but not too short for my toons. The combat animations are slick. So much attention to detail. Every attack has a smooth animation. Very nice. The world is beautiful. So much attention to detail. So many little things jumping out at you. One complaint though, even with as detailed as it is, the world feels very linear. Im not sure i like that. Here are a lot of pictures I took this weekend. s4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/kikaro/Aion%20Beta/
